These are some of the cutest and cuddliest cats and kittens that you have ever seen. They are so naturally inquisitive and playful that they are a pleasure to be around. As similar as all cats are, they also have individual personalities.

This young colony of Camponotus has a queen and 17 ant-workers. Wanna see how the 18th ant is born?

Meet Pua, the pet anteater. These are absolutely adorable photos. Apparently Pua likes playing dress up, car rides, and Cheese Whiz. In addition to being a unique pet, he can also walk upright. Whoda thunk it?

Meet the world’s heaviest pug named Jia Bio. This heavy weight doggie weighs in at a hefty 46.2 pounds. He outweighs the previous record holder by an amazing 9 pounds. He is cute but I assume he’s not all that healthy.

Everyone loves their pets, and when you find your cat or dog watching other cats and dogs it is always hilarious. Here are some homemade shots of TV watching cats and dogs.

Some people loved Harry Potter movies so much; they started to dress their pets as wizards and Gryffindor students. These are 20 photographs of Harry Potter themed cats and dogs.

These are some amazing close-ups of wildlife, taken by various photographers. Some of the animals in the photos are very dangerous. Wildlife photography is a matter of being in the right place at the right time. These photographers were very brave. 

These dogs all look like they are on some kind of drug or maybe they have been drinking. They have all the telltale signs such as lazy eyelids, sluggishness, and general slothfulness. I guess someone needs to call the doggie police.

For a crocodile, it’s easy to attack an elephant when they have such long trunks.

Apparently, the mother was protecting her baby from a crocodile.

It feels like it is a common practice for crocodiles to attack baby elephants. 

Now that's a fight!

Although most people probably don’t realize it, animals were used extensively in war. From pets to packhorses to animals that could go where a machine couldn’t. Every conceivable type of animal was used in time of war.

These are photos of spiders, insects and other creepy crawlies that were taken under an electron microscope. They were taken by Tom Jackson over a three month period. These micro monsters live in our homes, clothes, and even our bodies.

These rats sniff out landmines that are filled with TNT.  They are trained by a Dutch nongovernmental organization in Tanzania. Whenever they make positive detection they are rewarded with some food.   

For more information about these little sniffers you can check out our recent article we published just several days ago in our daily stare column 'Rats to Nuts.’ Now we have more photos.  

The famous proverb “A friend in need is a friend in deed” is not only about human friendship. We have paraphrased it, because it also refers to these two ducks that happened to swim in the same pond in Beaverton, Oregon (USA).

Photobombs with animals are even funnier than those with people.

Enjoy!

Melissa White dreamt about a micro pig that would become her little cute pet. On the day of purchase little Henry fitted in the palm of her hand, and the girl couldn’t even imagine what her micro pig would become in just one year.

This 10-day-old dolphin was injured by a fishing net and discovered near the Montevideo beach (Uruguay). There was no sign of the dolphin’s mother, so the mammal was lowered into a swimming pool at the NGO Rescate Fauna Marina centre. Local “resident”, the Magellan penguin, quickly became friends with a baby dolphin.

Beautiful black and white pictures with kitties and doggies playing and fooling around.

It will certainly raise your mood, especially for animal lovers.

These underwater sea creatures are both unusual and beautiful. It is hard to imagine that something so incredible could live and thrive underwater. Some have names you won’t be able to pronounce and some are very common.

When winter comes and it becomes harder to find the food, foxes try to hunt on anything they can. Even if it is a domestic cat that went out on a little stroll…

We would like to thank Ain for sending us this material.

This baby elephant was attacked by a crocodile in South Africa. It didn’t take long once the cries from the baby elephant were heard for a whole herd of elephants to come to the rescue. The leader of the charge was probably the female matriarch of the herd.

Animals and cars don’t mix, at least not in these photos of animals attacking cars. It doesn’t seem to matter what kind of animal it is, they all seem to hate cars. Maybe they are just playing like a kid with a new toy, but I wouldn’t want to be in the car.

And they do it the bear way, i.e. the "I destroy-everything" way…

How do you think, is it real or is it a plush toy?

The answer is inside the post.

In Tennessee, USA, on some farms you can find fainting goats. There is even the annual "Goats Music and More Festival" in Marshal County. Of course, there is a reason behind their name. The muscles of fainting goats freeze for roughly 10 seconds when the goat is startled.

If you didn’t know that, well, now you do.
